Thursday was another wet and mostly uneventful day at the LHSAA Tennis Championships in Monroe. For the second day in a row, players at Forsythe Park and Heard Stadium on the campus of ULM found themselves doing more standing on the sidelines in a holding pattern than hitting volleys.

Coaches and LHSAA officials met at 7 a.m. Thursday, and play began at 8:30 a.m., when it appeared that the rain might hold off. The wet stuff began to plummet to the ground again shortly after 10 a.m., causing another halt. The tournament was attempting to restart matches late Thursday as The News-Star went to press.
